SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair Over the Years

by

Seventeen’s S.Coups has had some pretty dramatic hair swaps in the past 2 years. From frosted platinum blonde to messy black waves, his hair has been all over the board. However, the majority of his look have been very daily-friendly. I decided to compile a few pictures of his hair changes over the years to give our male viewers some inspiration. For those that aren’t looking for a shorter style, well, we can always sit back and enjoy the beauty that is Seungcheol. Take a look below to see the gallery of SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair over the years!

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair- Adore U Era

 

In Seventeen’s debut Adore U era, S.Coups was first introduced to the public in platinum blonde. In the music video his hair was frosted upwards, and he kept this style for a lot of their original promotions. But, as the color faded to a darker mocha, he began to style his hair downwards for a more natural and innocent look. His bright hair color and unique styling definetely helped to let the public recognize him more easily!

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair- Mansae Era

 

During the Mansae Era, S.Coups’ hairstyles were pretty similar. In the beginning, his hair was styled in a straighter look. Later, the stylists seemed to like to add more waves for a messier look. In the last picture, Seungcheol slicks back his hair for the halloween fansigns. It gives an older and more mature look when compared to the other two styles. All of the styles have his color as black.

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair- Q&A Music Video

Even though it’s not technically a Seventeen comeback, I thought that I’d include the Q&A hair. His hair is still a dark black-blue, but it has what looks like a 6:4 part. To accentuate the part, he has a deep front wave that gives a more bad-boy image. His hair is all in a slight wave, which make the deeper part look much more natural.

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair- PRETTY U Era

 

In the Pretty U era, Seungcheol was another victim of the bowl cut, or “coconut head” hairstyle as ARMYs put it. For their “Love and Letter” showcase, his color was a cool dark grey-brown, and had a bit of a tousled look. Later, though, he re-dyed it into a lighter chestnut brown, and decided to go straight throughout the rest of Seventeen’s promotions. After a while, his hairdye wore off a bit so the chestnut brown turned into more of an ash-brown. The color changed, but it looks like he kept the same style.

 

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair-VERY NICE Era

 

First, let’s take a moment to appreciate the gif here.

Okay. Let’s move on now.

In the teaser pictures for “Very Nice,” S.Coups kept his faded chestnut-brown hair, just adding a bit more texture and a little bit of a middle part. But in the MV, he dyed his hair a cool blue-grey and black. His styling in the MV was similar, only a bit more textured and messy. In his promotions, though, his hair went through a couple of changes. He first kept the color of his hair in the MV and just added a more defined middle part. Nearly halfway through promotions, S.Coups decided to give his hair the pitch-black look once again. I don’t know if he actually dyed it, since he did have his hair wet for a lot of his promotions. And like I just mentioned, he had his hair maintain a wetted look, which gave it much more texture. It also could have helped with his hair color change.

 

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair- BOOM BOOM Era

For “Boom Boom” promotions, S.Coups’ hair went through a fair amount of style and color changes. For the MV and teasers, his hair was a dark brown color and had a ton of texture, along with an undercut. In the MV his hair still had a middle part, but there was a lot of peices here and there. In the teasers, his hair gathered together like in a mowhawk, and again there was a lot of stray hairs. During promotions he changed his hair a lot as well. He straightened it at one point, for a more youthful look, and dyed it black. In the last picture, it shows him with a blue tone in his black hair. His hair is tousled and textured a lot more so that his undercut is seen more clearly.

SEVENTEEN S.Coups’ Hair- DON’T WANNA CRY Era

Again, Pause. And let’s continue

 

DWC era is probably my favorite in terms of S.Coups’ hair. Not only was there a lot of variety in his looks, but they all worked well. For the MV and most of his promotions, he had chocolate brown and sometimes black hair that was curled and tousled like never before. Occasionally, he changed back to a straightened hairstyle for some radio broadcasts and their “Crazy in Love” showcases. The third picture is from S.Coups at the 2017 Dream Concert. Here, he brings back the 6:4(ish) part from the Q&A era, only with a lot more volumous waves. Personally, I love all these hairstyles from DWC on him, and I have no more to say.

I hope you were able to find some nice inspiration through the gallery! And if not, I’m sure that you enjoyed the gallery as much as I did.

BLACKPINK As If It’s Your Last MV Makeup

by

Unless you’ve been living undera rock for the past week, everyone’s heard of Blackpink’s new comeback. As If It’s Your Last broke BTS Blood Sweat and Tears Music Video record for fastest Kpop MV to reach 10 Million views. It also broke 1D’s record for the most views for a group in the first 24 hours. Impressive for a rookie group, but then again, what else is expected from YG? The MV is definetely a record-breaking success, and there’s no doubt that the girls’ looks added to the overflow of views! Let’s take a look at the gallery below that shows BlackPink As If It’s Your Last MV Makeup looks. See what you can learn from their looks below!

BLACKPINK AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST MV MAKEUP- LISA

Lisa’s fiery red hair really lets the makeup artists to go all out, while still letting the colors look somewhat natural. The makeup does change quite a bit, but a few things are always consistent throughout the MV. Her eyebrows are actually a darker shade than her hair, which is rare in the Kpop scene. Her eyeshadow also always has at least a tinge of bright red. Winged cat eyes are a must-do look, and she keeps the same popping pink-orange lipstick that goes off with her hair. It honestly could be a daily look during the summer, if you pull it off just right.

 

BLACKPINK AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST MV MAKEUP- ROSE

Rose probably kept the most natural image throughout the whole music video. She didn’t have many particular points to her makeup, emphsizing the natural-er look, but there were still a few points she had throughout the eniter ordeal. Her lips were always coated in a light and natural pink, and her eyeshadow was focused heavily on the bottom halves of her eyes. Since you don’t want to look like you’re sleep deprived, Rose always made sure to use either bright or shimmery colors for her undereyes.

 

BLACKPINK AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST MV MAKEUP- JENNIE

If Rose had the most consistency throughout the MV, Jennie was probably the member makeup artists messed around with most. Her look changes multiple times throughout the MV. She did have the lighter eye colors that were used for her lenses. In addition, other than in the second look, her wings were usually on the shorter side. In the second look, she winged her liner out and made a litte wing underneath too. It helps to give her eyes a more elongated and classy feel. But if there’s one main takeaway you should take from her looks, its the colors pink and orange. In every single look there was at least one sort of variation of the two colors on her lids or lips. These looks would be perfect for a carnival or summer concert.

 

BLACKPINK AS IF IT’S YOUR LAST MV MAKEUP- JISOO

Jisoo was also another member that went through a lot of makeup changes in the music video. In each look, though, she added some sort of surprise color. In the first look, she throws in green lenses, and in the last two, she adds slight yellow undertones within her main eye makeup. (I know the second one is harder to see, but if you look closely, there’s some yellow in there.) The first thing I noticed was her lip line. The makeup artists definetely focued on sharpeing Jisoo’s lips and having a clean lip color. While other members have pretty clean lip look too, she has more corners that are accentuated. And lastly, every look had some sort of red or burgundy color to match her hair! Some of her looks could be more natural, while some are a lot more daring.

 

Even though there’s only 4 members, the variety of makeup looks is amazing to look at. From casual summer concerts to classier summer parties, BlackPink’s new looks will get you a ton of ideas.

2017 Fashion Trend-Lettering

by

The recent trend for 2017 is the lettering “trend,” where the main point of the look is to have a t-shirt with bold letters. Although this trend has been around for a while now, it’s been making a comeback again! Idols are wearing a lot more plain tees with letters as well. “Lettering” used to be nearly nonexistent last year because of the graphic tee fashion, but it seems to be making a stronger comeback this year! Most wear white or black tees in order for the letters to stand out, but you can choose whatever style tee you want. Check out a couple of idols’ “lettering” fashion in the gallery below!

Hyuna

Hyuna’s been seen sporting this look multiple times. Her sweater’s turtleneck helps to add a bit more dimension to the plain sweater. And it looks like she personlized her second tee! Was this worn during Troublemaker promotions?

Red Velvet Irene

 

Irene took mixed the oversize fashion trend with the lettering trend. Her sweater looks perfectly comfortable and stylish for a long plane ride.

Red Velvet Seulgi

Seulgi takes the bold lettering on a collared shirt, which gives the white canvas some life. The length of the shirt also helps to add additional styling to her strightforward look.

SM Rookies

Here, the stars take a very simplistic approach to the trend. Minimal designs, basic colors, and bold letters.

Seventeen Woozi

Woozi takes a different approach from the others. Instead of having the letters printed on the front of his tee, he opts to have it on his sleeve.

Seventeen Joshua

Joshua, as well as the rest of Seventeen during Mansae, took plain suits and added a nametag of sorts to give off a more casual vibe. Most of us probably don’t have our own personal name tag at home, but it’s worth taking a note of the unique twist to the trend.

Monsta X Hyungwon

Hyunwon takes a minimalistic approach to the trend here as well. One thing to note is the size of his letters. While most use bold lettering on their tees, Hyunwon shows here that smaller print can have its own place in the “lettering” trend.

Yoo In Na

Although she’s not an idol, I thought I’d add the “Goblin” star in here too. She takes a very glamorous approach to “lettering,” pairing the tee with a trench coat and bright lavendar heels. It’s definetely a harder look, but she manages to pull it off.

Kpop Idols’ Orange Makeup

by

Although it’s been a trending color for years, orange is officially back in season. And as usual, we can always spot the trendiest colors being worn by our favorite idols. Orange can be a scary color for some people, so why not find some inspiration in the trendiest idols? From natural looks to glizty shadows, Kpop Idols themselves have proved that orange is one of the most versatile colors of the makeup world. Check through the gallery to see these Kpop Idols’ orange makeup looks, and see what you can use!

 

 BLACKPINK-Jennie

One of the first idols that come to my mind when I think of orange makeup is definetely BlackPink’s Jennie. Blackpink’s only had a couple of songs since their debuts, but I think she’s rocked orange in every one of their music videos. In the first and last looks, Jennie keeps the orange screaming through her whole look. She uses a stronger orange hue in her eye makeup in the first look, and in the last look, she uses a softer orange throughout her whole look, including her lips. The ombre lips help to make the orange seem less out-of-place. In the second picture, she uses a similar shade of orange in the third, uses a bit of pink to make the orange seem softer. Great for those that don’t want to make too much of a dramatic difference.

Rose

Rose shows how to use the orange in a darker look. Strong eyeliner is the main focus of her look, but the hints of brown, orange and pinky-peach eye colors help to blur the strong eyeline in with the rest of her face. Instead of going straight from black eyeliner to her pale complexion, the brown, orange and pink make a nice transition-shade from the liner to the skin. A good tip for those wanting to do a smoky cat-eye.

 

Lee Sung Kyung

Even though she’s not technically an idol, I thought that it would only be right to include Lee Sung Kyung. Since she’s also a model, there’s no way that she’s going to miss a hot trend. In this look, the actress uses a lip color that has orange and red mixed in. It’s a great idea for those who just want to transition into the orange trend. It’s also good for people who don’t think they look particularly look their best with a straight-out orange.

AFTER SCHOOL-Nana

kpopidolorangemakeupkoreanorangemakeuporangeeyeshadownanaafterschoolmostbeautifulfaceintheworld

We can’t miss the hottest trends without showing the “most beautiful face in the world,” for two years in a row! (I think, it might even be more.) Nana is well-known in South Korea as well as internationally for her stunning visuals. It’s only right that she appears in one of our examples to follow. Here, she focuses the orange eyeshadow on her undereyes, or aegyossal. She mixes the orange in with pink onto her top lid, and it looks like a bit of orange was added to the inner and outer edges of her lips. Try following this style and focus a lot of the orange on your undereyes. If you don’t want to go straight out orange with the lips, you can follow her example and use a peach/pink lip color in the middle of your lips. Then, take an orange eyeshadow and use a brush to pat some onto the inner and outer edges of your lips. It’ll be the most subtle orange lip you can get.

 

BTS-Jimin

Now, time to get some insiprations from male idols! Jimin also used the orange heavily in this look. The orange eyeshadow is darker on the outer corners, and slowly fades out as he gets closer to the bridge of his nose. It looks like he used an orange tint for his lip color as well.

 

SEVENTEEN-Joshua

SEVENTEEN-S.Coups

seungcheolscoupsorangelilpmakeupkpopidolorangemakeup

I’m going to combine both Jisoo and Seungcheol’s orange makeup looks, since they both carry the same general point. Seventeen in general hasn’t really worn much heavy makeup. (I mean after their debut) So, I thought that their makeup point would be really useful to viewers who don’t usually add a ton of eyeshadow. They both have pretty clean eyes, but their lips both have an orange hue to them. If a ton of makeup isn’t your thing, remember that even having a lip color can add a lot more life and dimension to your usual look.

Which orange look do you think you’ll be trying out next time?

KBEAUTY-Cleansing Tools and Their Uses

by

Hi guys! So, yesterday I made a post on how to clean your facial cleansing brushes, and earlier this week, I finally bought a new silicone cleansing pad to replace my facial brush, so I thought, why not do a blog on the different cleansing tools? Today we’ll be going over the 3 basic types of cleasnig tools that you can use. They’ll be the facial brushes, silicone pads, and sponges. Of course, there’s different variations in each category, like electrically powered brushes, but we’ll just stick to the general categories today.

Facial Brushes

facialbrushkbeautyskincarekoreanskincarefacialcleansingtoolskincarecleansingexfoliatinggentlecleanser

Facial Brushes are basically brushes made of soft fibers that have a sort of handle at the end. You would wet the brush, dab a bit of your favorite cleanser on the bristles, and cleanse you face in a circular motion with the brush. It’s extremely soft and non-irritating, so those with extremely sensitive skin would probably enjoy it.

Pros:

  • Extremely Gentle
  • Manual brushes are very cheap.
  • Deeper cleanse than when using hands
  • Long fibers can clean hard-to-reach areas like the corners of the nose

Cons:

  • Have to be replaced every 3 months
  • Have to be sanitized at least once a week
  • Bristles take a long time to dry completely (Usually around 8 hours)

If you are looking for a facial brush, here are some good options:

Cleansing Sponges

konjacspongekoreanbeautyfacialcleansingtool

Facial sponges work similarly to the facial brushes, only these cleansing tools have woven fibers instead of bristles. It can vary depending on the sponge shape, but they are also often able to reach harder-to-reach areas. Sponges often need to be sanitized weekly as well. Place the sponge in steaming hot water for around 4 minutes, then let air dry. Be sure to replace them at least every 3 months!

Pros:

  • Dries quickly
  • Easy to sanitize
  • Portable
  • Requires a very small amount of

Cons: 

  • Needs to be sanitized weekly
  • Must be replaced every 3 months
  • Konjac sponges may disintegrate over time

Here are a few popular options for sponges:

 

Silicone Pore Brushes

Silicone pore brushes are probably the newest addition to the mainstream family of cleansing tools. They work in a similar manner as the sponge and brush, but the advantage is how it doesn’t have to be replaced, and it doesn’t have to be sanitized. Because they’re made of silicone, bacteria won’t be able to grow on them, which means no need for sanitization. If you really want to clean it, just throw this into a cup of boiling water to sterilize it.

Pros:

  • Long-lasting (Can last for years)
  • No need for sanitation
  • Dries quickly
  • Gentle on the skin
  • Very Cheap

Cons:

  • Handle on the back make be hard to grip for some

Here are some options for those looking for a silicone pore brush!

Hope this review helped anyone looking for a new cleansing tool! I’ve used all three cleansing tools before, but I definetely feel like the silicone pore brush is the best deal. It works just as well, if not better, than the other tools, and I don’t have the hassle of cleaning and replacing it all the time. That said, I know everyone’s skin is different, so try and see which one would be best for you!
